IPhone 3G wifi problem... please help

Hey guys, just got an iphone 3G. Now, I had a 2nd gen ipod touch until recently and the wifi never had a problem in my house. Just got an iphone however, and it seems every 2 out of 3 times I start using the wifi on it, after a minute or two it will just lose the whole network. Even my imac will lose all wifi. It's the like the modem hates my iphone for some reason. The only thing to get it back up, is resetting the modem every time which is a pain. any ideas??
thanks

tried it mate, now the thing is, my wifi button is not grayed but it can not find the wifi signal ! sometimes it can, and then it looses the signal ! so in my opinion, there should be some solution or patch for it coz if it has a hardware issue then it stays as grayed but now it's not ! so yea waiting to have some solution for it. Thanks though really appreciated !

  • Ios5 wifi problems please help

    I have a ipod 3rd generation and i update into ios5 and the wifi conection start to fail and safari is very slow please help thanks

    I had an iPhone that did the same - it would connect to my wi-fi network and the disconnect. After restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone with no change, I made an appointment at an Apple store where it was confirmed the iPhone has a hardware problem.
    If you have tried everything included with the link provided including restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the iPhone's backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem as I've provided 3 times now.

  • IOS6 WiFi Problems, please help!

    I have the iPhone 4 and updated to the iOS6 today. Well after updating my wifi will not work.. The thing is I am at college and the wifi here you have to go to Safari and type in username and password everytime. Well when I go to do so, it will not load. PLEASE HELP.

    I found a solution that has worked on both iPhone 4's I have that have had the same issues, and also including not being able to download updates in the App store.
    Go to Settings > WiFi and turn it OFF.
    Next go to General > Cellular > Cellular Data and turn it OFF
    Next go back to Settings > WiFi and turn it ON, (wait a few seconds for it to sync with your network)
    Finally go back to General > Cellular > Cellular Data and turn it ON.
    I had the same issues on both my wife's phone, and my own, and it fixed it immediately without changing any proxy settings or reboots, (which I did try on my phone and did not work, but did not try on my wife's phone)
    Hope this helps!

  • IPhone Application Update Problem -- Please Help

    So I downloaded the application Aurora Feint. Synced it to my iPhone and all was well. Then apparently there was an update. Instead of logging onto iTunes and updating it that way, I decided to try out the Application Store update feature on the iPhone itself. The problem is that the feature won't work for programs later than 10MB. (Aurora Feint is 20+MB.) So now I'm left with an unusable Aurora Feint update icon on my screen that is just taking up space.
    I tried holding down the icons so I could just click the X to get rid of it. Problem is the update icon has no X. Then I tried syncing my phone via iTunes and telling it to remove the AF application. Supposedly it did. But when I disconnected the phone, the AF update icon is still there.
    Can someone please tell me how to get rid of the blood thing?

    If all else fails, first remove the app from iTunes (delete it), then do a restore of the iPhone. It should be gone after the restore.

  • Iphone 5 Reboot problem please help?!!

    Last night i turned off my iphone 5 and when i woke up i tried to boot it up. It didn't work. I pressed the home button and power button mutiple times and just right when i got the charger and plug it in the usb without the other end in yet it turned on. Should i be worried?

    Double click the home button and find out what apps are running in the background. Then hold them down until they start to shake and click the minus sign until no apps are actively running. Also, turn push notifications off and see if that changes anything. I hope this helps!

  • IPhone 3Gs OS6 problem, please help.

    I woke up this morning and my iPhone screen said OS6 then "connect to iTunes". It had an image of a USB plug with an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon. It won't let me do anything. I am almost annoyed!!!! I did NOT request the update. All APPs were up to date before I went to sleep. I dragged out the computer, plugged in thw phone and WHAT does ITunes say? It tells me that my phone doesn't have the correct version of iTunes. I have no idea what version it has because I can't do anything with it. If I press the button at the bottom of the screen I get 3 options, Emergency call, Start Over, Cancel, none of which are even remotely helpful. Is there a fix?    

    Hi twainy88,
    It sounds like your iPhone may have placed itself in Recovery mode due to an issue with an update. The following article has more information and steps for how to restore from a backup:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    Notes:
    In certain situations, an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will automatically go into recovery mode after an update or restore issue. If your device is already in recovery mode, you can attempt to restore using iTunes.

  • Iphone 4s battery problems PLEASE HELP

    I got my 4s about a week ago. The first couple of days i noticed the battery would go down pretty quick. So i looked online and seen all these different ways to save battery life by switching the settings around. I did all of the recommended changes ( location, brightness, etc.) i had already charged the phone the same way i would charge any phone before i read the full discharge full recharge. I did that two nights in a row and since then i let it get to atleast 2% before i charge it. Last night i put it on the charger around 20% maybe a little more and it definatley overcharged for an hour or two before i took it off. When i go to work i leave it in my locker and go on it during breaks. Normally it would never change the % while on standby and it would go down 1 maybe 2% while i use it. Today by the time it was lunch break it was down to 80%. As i type this my battery is at 64% with 2 hours and 31 minutes usage and 16 hours, 5 minutes of standby.
    What happened to it? It bothers me so much cause i love the phone and it was doing good until today.
    I JUST NOTICED that there is a new software update iOS 5.1.1. Could this sudden battery problem have occured because i am running older software??!!

    You've probabaly just installed and left running more applications. Applications dont entirely close when you hit the home screen. You've probabaly notice when you turn on your phone you have to wait through the loading screen for many applications. After that they sit on the memory of the phone, and the phone uses some battery retaining the state of each application. In Stand-By and still when powered down, your battery will slowly drain (less so when powered down).
    You may want to start force closing apps or occasionally powering down your iPhone. Additionally, the battery is not a NiCad battery where you can't charge it when it's at 80% or you'll risk causing the "battery memory" to max at 80%. The iPhone batteries are fine to be charged when they're at 95%. That said, Apple does recommend dispersing the battery to 0% atleast once a month. These batteries do have a battery charge cycle, ie: after so many charges the drain will begin to occur, but it's alot better than say your R/C car battery, or your typical rechargable triple 'A' battery.
    On another note, I do recommend you run the latest updates, if there ever is a battery issue and they know about it, they'll try to address the issue.

  • IPhone 4S sound problem please help?!

    I have a 4s and updated to ios7 when it came out. Today my phone has no audio apart from ringtone. The volume bar for example is not available in you tube. The buttons when pressed to adjust sound do not show no volume increase or decrease. The speakers work as I can adjust ringtone in settings and can hear it loud and clear. Is this a bug from the update?

    Hello Leoner777,
    I would be concerned too if the speaker on my iPhone was not working.  I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this:

  • IPhone 3G, updating problem - please help!

    i have installed the latest iphone software onto my 3G but when i download apps it says I haven't got the latest iphone software.. what shall i do?!
    Also can I get ios 5?

    The last version of iOS to be supported is 4.2.1. If apps require something higher, you will not be able to use them. The only way around this is to buy a new phone. You can NOT install iOS 5 on an iPhone 3G.
